An encouraging nose with nice sherry notes and interesting chocolate hints. Nice complexity, specially after a few minutes of aeration, as the first contact with this whisky is quite marked by alcohol but fortunately this is dimming rather soon. Spices and exotic fruits .
In the mouth, this is quite a firework with nice fruity notes and a kind of bitter acidity developing soon on very refined and fresh woody hints. Sea is not far neither...
The finish is long and pleasant and marked by the memory of a mix of malty sweetness and a light woody bitterness and smoke traces. A very nice bottle.

A hint of smoke, a hint of peat, a hint of hazelnut, a hint of sherry. This is a perfectly balanced whisky with a very wide range of odors. A slight tingling however, due to an alcohol which we guess it could be better controlled. But the whole is exceptionally nice.
The first impression in the mouth is nice, and this whisky develops all its complexity here. Acid notes, followed by hints of smoke, all on a well present sherry background. Here too in the begin, alcohol is slightly disturbing but fortunately it manages very quickly.
A long, warm finish which does not belie anything from the mouth. A nice mix of sherry and smoke with a hint of peat in the background form the core of this very pleasant finish.
